Does the same thing happen if you run tcpdump on it?

If so, then, if you have an ADC account, I'd suggest filing a bug on this.
 Give all details of your network (note that it uses WEP, indicate whether
it's 802.11b or 802.11g), and give all details of the tcpdump command you
ran (interface you captured on, indication of whether you turned
promiscuous mode off or not, etc.).
